I-vtec. Do you?
Whatever is wrong with it, 1k seems like a solid deal on your end. Looks pretty clean overall

Here's a video of the first time I cranked it up. Keep in mind it had been sitting for 7 months without running. As you can see, no smoke from exhaust nor under hood. Ticking
increasing with throttle.

I would buy almost any s2000 in the world for $1k. a straight frame is worth more than that, i think. Damn, I'm envious. Nice find. I can't see the pics but like I said, it can't possibly be a bad deal.

Most definitely. I've had a few projects over the years, but this is by far my favorite.
